what happened to bmth opening?

[codfish]

...sorry if i missed anything

and how comes msi were before feeder??

[TalkShow Bob]

Slipknott and avange sevenfold pulled out so the lineup was regiged. They put on BMTH and moved mindless self indulgence up the bill.

[Dragonfire]

well they had to reorganise the line up because of slipknot and a7x pulling out. im not quite sure why the band that was 1st on the bill got boosted so high tho, you would have thought they would have just moved dropkicks up, or even plain white t's cus theyre popular etc

[benisright]

Apparently MSI insisted they be moved up the bill. DKM didnt have any problem with it because they apparently had to go somewhere early.

That totally f**ked up my Sunday.. 2 bands I wanted to see, granted Slipknot a hell of a lot more..

[Budweiser]

Just blame A7x

[Sgt. Pepper]

another reason why they're astonishingly shit. It was almost painful having to sit thru that crap.

[Avens]

BMTH are f ucking terrible. I believe all those rumours that dogged the t wat lead singer a while back; what a nobber. Serious; if they got a slot at Reading Festival, I could wee in a paper bag and spray it over a turnip shaped like Kelly Osbourne, and STILL give up a better act that those wannbe scenester ballmonkeys.

Wait, MSI were 4th headliners at Reading? The f**k?

[Duffbox]

nah, it f**ked it all up, cos shitnot and avenged shitfold pulled out the end of pendulum clashed with the begining of tenacious d, so i missed pendulum to be right in there for the d, otherwise i would have seen all of both on the old time plan

[fowls]

It really was a last minute panic switch around. I'm sure if they had more than one night to sort things out they'd have moved Pendulum up to main stage, but that'd probably be a logistical nightmare to sort out in such a short amount of time.

My guess is MSI were moved up to minimise time changes. If everyone hyad have moved up one everyones start time changed but at least dropkicks and plain white t's were same this way.

Oh well, at least slipknot are touring with two amazin bands this winter, makes up for it somewhat.

[VCK]

Yeah, and there was me saying a week before the fest that this was the first year since 2002 that the Main Stage hasn't been altered once.

Then it all becomes shambolic at the last minute. Two bands high up pulling out then an almost-unheard of band taking the 4th slot.

apparently they did ask pendulum but they said they wanted to play the tent

[VCK]

Yeah I heard that as well, which makes sense really. They were f**king wicked in the tent, I reckon some of the atmosphere and stuff would have been lost on the main stage.

apparently they got asked to play below Slipknot.

[fowls]

I guess it makes sense having Pendulum in the tent. The volume at main stage was pitiful this year (probably because of the stupid wind) and with a band like Pendulum, volume is everything.

BMTH didnt open at Leeds because Matt hurt his hand at Reading.

[Ravislayer]

How does that work? They played Reading on the sunday and hence were supposed to play Leeds on friday?

Did he hurt his hand and then go back in time?
